I am a confident, self-motivated individual who has experience of setting up an award winning Breast Cancer Support company, alongside carrying out a 13 month internship at HP and completing a summer Marketing internship in Sydney. I am a recent graduate from Newcastle University with a First Class Degree in BA Marketing and Management, where I was awarded ‘Outstanding Student of the Year’ for receiving the highest overall grade.
Project Manager and Business Consultant currently working with CxO level clients at DXC Technology (Formerly Hewlett Packard Enterprise) to help shape their business and IT strategy moving forward. Previously within HPE I worked on the UK’s largest Aerospace defence manufacturer as a Project Manager managing service transition of new projects and implementation of software changes. However, I am looking for the next exciting step in my career, within a marketing role.
Work history
Project Manager Business Development
Full Time
As a Business Consultant, within the Strategic Sales Centre at DXC, I design and deliver pre-sales demonstrations and run collaborative innovation workshops to provide executive stakeholders a view of DXC’s transformational Cloud, DevOps, Workplace and Service Management Capabilities. Engagements are targeted at C-Level senior executives globally.
I help support consulting and advisory services to clients by running the technical demonstrations and helping articulate business solutions and DXC’s capabilities. Outside the demonstration role I support the service, helping it to evolve, engaging with partners and wider DXC community. My marketing experience has been essential in designing and presenting cloud demonstrations, executive dashboard solutions and data centre management solutions to CxO audiences. Key achievements include individually contributing to $274M of TCV alongside receiving recognition and excelling in performance reviews due to my contribution in both delivery and revenue growth for the company.
Marketing and Regional Sales
Full Time
Hyundai Brilliant Young Entrepreneur UK Winner 2014. Securing £15,000 investment.
Originating within my 2nd year of university. Myself and some fellow students designed and developed a product to aid recovering breast cancer patients. After initial research we believed it to be a new product in a niche market, over the academic year we won Regional Young Enterprise and Progressed to National Young Enterprise to then secure £15,000 investment from Hyundai. As Marketing and Sales manager within the team I now truly understand intricacies of a start‐up business. Key roles have included; creating a strong brand for the business to designing prototypes, negotiating with suppliers and carrying out extensive market research/test marketing. Alongside this, I organised a PR release for the business into a local North East Newspaper. My most recent success is securing potential deals with distributors such as MacMillan and Guys & St Thomas. This year having a business alongside a full time job has been demanding, making time management skills vital. Like any start up business we have come across many setbacks along the way, but self‐motivation and determination to succeed is what is driving the project and I am very excited for future prospects.
